Lately I've been thinking that the 70's might make a comeback, and I'm pretty stoked about this since I missed out it the first time.

Bring back the 60's

Why couldn't I have found this dress before the wedding?? If we ever do the Heidi and Seal thing and renew our vows, I want it to be a full on hippie affair, barefoot in the woods with lots of little patchouli scented flower children running around. Glen is the only one who knows that I secretly want to be a hippie. Since we have been together, I have tried to bring back the phrases 'right on' and 'gnarly' but mostly I just get strange looks.

Anyway on Monday we are heading to London for two incredibly fun reasons. We are going to see my all time favorite band (next to Radiohead) Black Mountain. Black Mountain is a 60's psychedelic rock band that Glen introduced me to a couple years ago and I have been obsessed with ever since. We have spent many a road trip with Black Mountain, and I'm so stoked to finally see them live. Here is the video for the song Old Fangs, from their new album coming out in September, Wilderness Heart. How hippie-psychedelic is this video/song?? Love it.




And if that wasn't exciting anough, we are getting our engagement photos taken by our super talented wedding photographers Dani and Chris Barber. They have picked out some really great (and some of our favorite) places in London to go. I can't wait to share the finished pictures!

North Berwick, Scotland

Yesterday was Glen's birthday. We celebrated by heading to North Berwick and gorging ourselves on fish n chips and ocean air. Then we spent a couple hours attempting to walk along the coast to Tantallon Castle to hunt for the ghost, but the rugged terrain proved too much with our bellies full of fish! In the end, we found a secluded little beach and relaxed there for awhile. It was a perfect day for my honey's 27th!

Shacking up

Lately I've been intrigued by the idea of finding a little hideaway somewhere incredibly secluded, and shacking up for a week doing nothing but reading, sleeping, eating and exploring. Sounds good, right? Actually, as my fiance and I search for honeymoon ideas I think something like this might be perfect.

Into the {Ancient} Forest

Location: Dalkeith Forest, Scotland

Sunday

It's a beautiful Sunday, and I'm playing with the idea of heading to the ancient Caledonian forest today. Although I might just have to lay in the sun while it is here, and save the forest for a dark rainy day....
